The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.
A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

Already hospitals are running out of hospital beds in Texas and Florida. After that happened in New York, they ended up forklifting pallets of corpses into semi trailers and digging mass graves for all the bodies. Is that same scenario coming soon to Texas and Florida?

ReplyDeleteThis day looks like boat burn day! It amazes me that almost 5 dozen residences exploded into smithereens so far this year. You'd think there'd be some lead-up circumstances, like the smell of gas or something electrical.
More crazy vehicular accidents that burst into flame, small planes having big problems and the usual long list of people keeling over or dying in or near water. JJFH should be mandatory reading for police, fire and EMT personnel.

New warnings over rapid melting at Antarctica’s ‘doomsday glacier’
https://www.yahoo.com/news/antarctic-doomsday-glacier-161305996.html
Scientists have issued new warnings over a glacier in Antarctica that is described as “the doomsday glacier” because its collapse could lead to rapid sea-level rise.
Even now, ice draining from Thwaites Glacier into the Amundsen Sea accounts for about 4% of global sea-level rise – but scientists fear it could collapse.
If it collapses it could raise sea levels about 65cm as it melts, and could also trigger a runaway collapse across the western half of Antarctica that could lead to a sea level rise of up to 6ft, scientists told the Financial Times.
Such a rise would be catastrophic for coastal cities around the world. [more]

Climate denial spreads on Facebook as scientists face restrictions – Company overrules scientific fact-checking group, which had flagged information as misleading

A climate scientist says Facebook is restricting her ability to share research and fact-check posts containing climate misinformation.
Those constraints are occuring as groups that reject climate science increasingly use the platform to promote misleading theories about global warming.
The groups are using Facebook to mischaracterize mainstream research by claiming that reduced consumption of fossil fuels won’t help address climate change. Some say the planet and people are benefitting from the rising volume of carbon dioxide that’s being released into the atmosphere. [more]

“Lockdown 2.0”: This New Wave Of Lockdowns Will Ensure The U.S. Remains In An Economic Depression Through The 2020 Election
ReplyDeletehttp://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/lockdown-2-0-this-new-wave-of-lockdowns-will-ensure-the-u-s-remains-in-an-economic-depression-through-the-2020-election
Another wave of lockdowns has begun, and that is really bad news for the U.S. economy. The first wave of lockdowns resulted in the permanent closing of more than 100,000 U.S. businesses, colossal lines at food banks around the nation, and the loss of tens of millions of jobs. Needless to say, this new wave of lockdowns will make things even worse, and some are speculating that this is precisely what Democrats want. If the U.S. economy continues to fall apart as we approach the election in November, the thinking is that this will make President Trump look bad and will make it more likely that people will cast votes for Democrats. But there is also the possibility that this could backfire in a huge way for the left. If millions of Americans start to identify the Democrats as “the party of the lockdowns”, that could actually greatly help President Trump in November. [more; no choice]
NHS consultant says staff are being silenced over covid-19
https://www.sott.net/article/438042-NHS-consultant-says-staff-are-being-silenced-over-covid-19
Here lies an anonymous statement from an A&E consultant in a major hospital in Surrey, in relation to the criminal gagging of all levels of NHS staff, who have been threatened that they will lose their jobs if the speak out about the COVID-1984 scamdemic.
all staff , no matter what grade, at all hospitals have been warned that if they give any media interviews at all or make any statements to either the Main Stream Press or smaller, independent press /social media we may, immediately be suspended without pay.
In my opinion, and that of many of my colleagues, there has been no Covid Pandemic, certainly not in the Surrey region and I have heard from other colleagues this picture is the same throughout the country.
The few Covid cases that we have had , get repeatedly tested, and every single test counted as a new case. Meaning the figures reported back to ONS / PHE (Office for National Statistics & Public Health England) were almost exponentially inflated. It could be that Covid cases reported by hospitals are between 5 to 10x higher than the real number of cases. There has been no pandemic and this goes a long way to explain why figures for the UK are so much higher than anywhere else in Europe.
The fact is that regardless of what you actually die of in hospital, it is likely that Covid-19 will feature on your death certificate. [more]

Private investment firms that manage the fortunes of wealthy individuals and their kin were approved for millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded relief loans designed to help small businesses weather the coronavirus lockdown, according to a review of recently released government data.
The companies - often referred to as “family offices” - approved for the forgivable loans from the Small Business Administration (SBA) included those that oversee money for the family that co-owns the National Basketball Association’s Sacramento Kings; the former manager of a multi-billion dollar hedge fund firm; and a serial Las Vegas entrepreneur.

Why a Second Wave of COVID-19 Could Be Financially Disastrous for Social Security Retirees
https://www.fool.com/retirement/2020/07/13/why-a-second-wave-of-covid-19-could-be-financially.aspx
This is obviously terrible news because it means hundreds of thousands of more people could get sick and even die. It's also very bad news for the economy, as states that started to reopen reverse course, and businesses are shut down again.

ReplyDeleteBrazil sacks official after soaring June deforestation data
https://www.yahoo.com/news/brazil-sacks-official-soaring-june-212823107.html
Brazil’s government on Monday fired an official at the national space agency Inpe whose department is responsible for satellite monitoring of the Amazon rainforest, just three days after the release of June deforestation data reflected a continued increase in degradation.
Lubia Vinhas was the general-coordinator of Brazilian space agency Inpe’s Earth Observation Institute, which is an umbrella for divisions that monitor the Amazon and panels to debate climate change with civil society organizations.
It’s unclear whether the removal of Vinhas from her position was connected to the data. Her subordinate who heads the division directly overseeing satellite monitoring of Amazon deforestation remains employed. Inpe said in a statement posted to its website Monday night that the change was part of a shake-up at the agency to improve synergies. [more]

Record floods raise questions about China's Three Gorges Dam
https://www.yahoo.com/news/record-floods-raise-questions-chinas-050234921.html
As China counts the costs of its most punishing flood season in more than three decades, the role played by the massive and controversial Three Gorges Dam - designed to help tame the Yangtze river - has come under fresh scrutiny.
Amid some of the heaviest rainfall on record, the Chinese government says the world's biggest hydroelectric plant has reduced flood peaks, minimised economic losses and slashed the number of deaths and emergency evacuations.
But critics say the historically high water levels on the Yangtze and its major lakes prove the Three Gorges Dam isn't doing what it was designed for. [more; due to release of H2O]

Woman races across 4 lanes of traffic, dives into canal to save child, Oregon cops say
https://www.yahoo.com/news/woman-races-across-4-lanes-185817918.html
An Oregon woman raced across a highway to save a toddler from drowning in a canal, the Redmond Police Department said.
On July 7, a 2-year-old child fell into a canal and was rescued by a woman who had been driving on Highway 97, the department said in a statement. The woman saw the child’s father trying to flag down cars and saw the toddler run across the highway and fall into a canal.
The woman, later identified as Bailey Vardanega, pulled her car over, ran across four lanes of traffic to jump into the canal and saved the child from drowning, KTVZ/CNN reported.
“My legs were faster than I’ve ever run, and I swam more aggressive than I ever swam,” Vardanega told KTVZ. “God’s in control. He had me in the right place at the right time, and I allowed him to use my body as he needed.” [more]

Colorado man speaks out after fighting off bear in kitchen
https://www.yahoo.com/gma/colorado-man-speaks-fighting-off-bear-kitchen-162837872--abc-news-topstories.html
A Colorado man said he is lucky to be alive after being attacked by a bear inside an Aspen home.
Dave Chernosky, 54, who is recovering from severe cuts to his face, said he woke up around 1:30 a.m. on Friday after hearing sounds coming from the kitchen.
"So I went to the kitchen, saw [the bear] there. He was already in the fridge and cupboards and stuff like that."
Chernosky, a father of two, said the family was staying at a friend's house when he confronted the massive black bear.
"My kids were in the basement, so I wanted to make sure he stayed upstairs," said Chernosky, who described the bear as dark brown and estimated it was close to 450 pounds.
Chernosky said by making loud noises, he was able to lure the bear to the garage, but when opening the garage, the loud sound upset the bear, which swiped Chernosky's face.
"...As soon as we looked at each other, he just smacked me … and after I got out of the way and started yelling, he left," said Chernosky, who has severe cuts on his face and neck after the attack. "Luckily, [the bear] wasn't really after me."
Chernosky told "GMA" that he was taken to a hospital for surgery and now has a series of stitches along his cheek, jaw, ear and back, but was told he would make a full recovery.[more]

new research, published July 13 in Scientific Reviews, asserts the first strong — though still disputed — evidence that powerful eruptions on the Sun can trigger mass earthquake events on Earth.
"Large earthquakes all around the world are not evenly distributed ... there is some correlation among them," says Giuseppe De Natale, research director at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome and co-author of the new study. "We have tested the hypothesis that solar activity can influence the worldwide [occurrence of earthquakes]." [more]
Mysterious new invasive algae smothering Hawaii's coral reefs
https://www.sott.net/article/438082-Mysterious-new-invasive-algae-smothering-Hawaiis-coral-reefs
"By 2019 the seaweed had covered large expanses on the northeast side of the atoll with mat-like, extensive growth of entangled thalli," the abstract from the study reads. "Specimens were analyzed using light microscopy and molecular analysis and were compared to morphological descriptions in the literature for closely related taxa. Light microscopy demonstrated that the specimens likely belonged to the rhodomelacean genus Chondria, yet comparisons to taxonomic literature revealed no morphological match."
In short, it appears that the alga is likely to be an unknown species. That's a problem, because the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument is uninhabited, remote, and pristine — which makes it susceptible to invasive species like this one.
"This seaweed is not closely related to any known Hawaiian native species," the abstract continues, "and is of particular concern given its sudden appearance and rapid increase in abundance in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument."

Air pollution exposure linked to higher COVID-19 cases and deaths – new study
https://theconversation.com/air-pollution-exposure-linked-to-higher-covid-19-cases-and-deaths-new-study-141620
One factor that could partially explain this is air pollution. Research has shown that long term exposure to pollutants such as fine particulate matter (often called PM2.5, as these are particles smaller than 2.5 micrometres), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂) can reduce lung function and cause respiratory illness. These pollutants have also been shown to cause a persistent inflammatory response even in the relatively young and to increase the risk of infection by viruses that target the respiratory tract.
